Russia's services sector contracted in March for the first time in six months, with the S&P Global Russia Services PMI falling to 49.5 from 51.3 in February, indicating a decline in demand and new orders.

In July 2025, Russia's services sector contracted at its fastest pace since June 2024, with the S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) falling to 48.6 from 49.2 in June, attributed to a drop in new orders amid a subdued sales environment.

Russia's manufacturing sector extended its downturn in March, with the S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Russian manufacturing falling to 48.3 from 49.5 in February, remaining below the 50 threshold that separates growth from contraction.
